[NSFW] Posts: invalid template name

Hi, I have the same problem after the last update: it seems updating has deleted the

/wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/templates

folder inside the plugin.

I’m trying to recover it from a backup.

Too bad that the change of the template path was not noted in the changelogs, I had to search for a while. – But otherwise it’s a cool plugin.

Hi @2zi0 and @ethiopia02,

you should never edit templates within the plugin folder since all your changes will be lost after the plugin update, just like this time. Please read the detailed guide on how to do that properly:

Too bad that the change of the template path was not noted in the changelogs, I had to search for a while. – But otherwise it’s a cool plugin.

My bad…

I have never modified the plugin and the templates but I have always used the basic functions and yet the problem has occurred anyway …

@ethiopia02, could you post here your shortcode?

Thank you.

Dear Vladimir,

my web page is https://www.musicainmostra.it/zeus/

and my shortcode is

[su_posts posts_per_page=”-1″ taxonomy=”post_tag” tax_term=”1799″ tax_operator=”AND” order=”asc” orderby=”title”]

Thank you

@ethiopia02,

is Shortcodes Ultimate activated now? I can only see raw shortcodes on your page.

Your shortcode looks correct, I tested it on my development website and it does work. Please try to remove the plugin through FTP and install it again from within the dashboard.

Go to wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/includes/shortcodes/posts.php
line 432:

$path = realpath( $path );

add the following line:

$base = realpath( $base );

For me its working now.

@gn_themes @hiroki2020

Hiroki2020’s fix worked for me as well. Consider for next plugin update.

peace

@hiroki2020 this worked for me, as well. Thank you!

Hey Vladimir,

my webste is

and my shortcode is https://www.soyblanquiazul.com

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 7,6,5,4″ slides_style=”photo” crop=”16:9″ max_width=”100%” arrows=”no” dots=”no” target=”self” autoplay=”3″ image_size=”full”]

I think I bought a template that was using the previous version of this plugin, when I try to make a new shortcode, it doesn’t appear, I read that su_carousel was changed to su_image_carousel, I made the change but I can’t see the carousel.
I need help please.

template : https://themeforest.net/item/braga-fashion-theme-for-woocommerce-wordpress/25982053

Thank you

@hiroki2020 tks so much, you saved my life!

Congrats for the solution.

I tried the above solution suggested by Hiroki2020’s..

but still I am getting this error..

Posts: invalid template name

When I update this plugin I get this error message Posts: invalid template name.

As suggested by @hiroki2020 I went to
wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/includes/shortcodes/posts.php
but line 432 is different.

$path = path_join( $base, $template );

/* This is line 427-437. */

foreach ( $locations as $base ) {

$base = untrailingslashit( $base );
$base = realpath( $base );

/*line 432*/ $path = path_join( $base, $template );
$path = realpath( $path );

if ( file_exists( $path ) && strpos( $path, $base ) === 0 ) {
return $path;
}

/* I know enough php to be able to edit, but not write the code.

I also tried deleting the plugin through Filezilla and re-uploading it through the WP back end Plugins Add New and after I activated the plugin it created a fatal error. The staging site was no longer accessible, so re-set it. I would like to keep this plugin up to date, please help! */
